Robin Probart ASTD President SA O


nce again this year I had the pleasure of attending the ASTD International Conference and


Exposition, held recently in Denver, Colorado, USA. I am in a fortunate position to have attended this event for the past 25 years. I was joined by more than 9 000 delegates, of which more than 2 000 were from outside USA, representing over 75 countries. There were almost 300 educational sessions to choose from have, all being aligned to ASTD’s Communities of Practice to highlight their relevance to what we do and where we do it as Training and Development professionals.

Education sessions at the 69th were organized around a number of tracks, including; Career Development, Designing and Facilitating Learning, Global Human Resource Development, Human Capital, Leadership Development, Learning Technologies, Measurement, Evaluation, and ROI, Trends, Higher Education, Government, and Sales Enablement. The three keynote sessions were lead by Jim Collins, John Kao, and Heidi Grant Halvorson, who spoke on the subjects of leadership, learning, and innovation. We also enjoyed other recognised Leaders of the Profession such as Michael Allen, Ken Blanchard, William Byham, Ruth Clark, Beverly Kaye, Jim Loehr, Pat McLagan, Jack Phillips, Bob Pike, Allison Rossett, Thiagi, and Jack Zenger. It was, as always, an incredible line up.
